different directions without changing the position of the user at oneside of the glass light.

A further object is to provide a' hammer of this character the head ofwhich can slide easily over the surface of a glass light and will strikesquarely against points close to the surface of the light.

Another object is to provide the hammer with a concave surface so thatit can he slid over any irregularities of the surface or the likewithout danger of missing the glaziers point.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within thescope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of theinvention. A r

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen. shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a top plan view of the hammer.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, the head being shown in section.

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the hammer.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 desi ates the headof the hammer provided with three flat extensions 2, 3and 4 disposed atright angles to each other and having fiat faced terminal ends or butts5 constltuting striking faces.- Outstanding from one face of the headbetween the extensions 2, 3 and 4, is an extension 6 substantially inthe form of a truncated pyramid and providing a striking face 7. Ahandle 8 is extended from the head at that side thereof opposite theextension 3 and is preferably inclined relative to the faces of thehead, the free end of the handle terminating in a grip 9. Thus while thehead is held flat against the surface of a glass light L as shown inFig. 2 sufiicient space will be provided between the grip 9 and thelight to enable the handle to be grasped firmly by the user. a

To enable the head to slide smoothly over an uneven surface, the bottomface of the head is recessed as shown at 10.

It will be apparent that afterthe head I has been placed fiat againstthe surface of the glass light, it can be swung against glaziers pointsthat have been properly positioned at all sides of the light, thusdriving the points without the necessity of shifting the position of theoperator.

The extension 6 provides weight for the head and can also; under someconditions be used for hammeringtacks, etc.

hat is claimed is A glaziers hammer including a head, having a. recessin one face, an angular extension upon the opposite face of the headproviding a weight and constituting a striking portion, the flat face ofwhich is opposite the center of the recess, a handle extending from oneside of the head, and flat relatively thin angular extensions projectingfrom the other sides of the head, all of said extensions having fiatfaces occupying the same plane with the recessed face of the head, saidflat extensions constituting means for driving points in either of threedirections while the head is in sliding engagement with a supportingsurface.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
